i never thought that there would not be creative panels. i would see that as a huge contributant to a vibrant mix - much as post_moot has been an intermix.

and i see this awp flier as just for the awp . . we can circulate a cfp much more widely through lists and blogs and variant desitination sites and crank up reminders
through until a closing date for submissions (and beyond in some cases).

this is longest lead time i will ever have experienced as a preparation and we can do something of a very differnt order by way of announcement for AWP et al next year

As you know, I'm not volunteering to edit that, so it's not my call, but I'd think we'd want creative work and a few essays, perhaps bumped up from conference papers, plus an intro. But your remark does lead me to wonder if there's a way we can invite creative panels. We'll have some invited readers, presumably, and perhaps some late night readings. Do we want more by way of creative panels?

Also that popping p in the sentence might be looked at.
